THE MUSEUM'S SCIENTISTS, HISTORIANS, AND EDUCATORS INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF EXPLORERS BY EQUIPPING VISITORS WITH THE SKILLS AND DESIRE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR UNIVERSE. DURING THE YEAR, MORE THAN 534,000 VISITORS, INCLUDING MORE THAN 47,400 STUDENTS ON FIELD TRIPS, EXPERIENCED THE MUSEUM'S INTERACTIVE EXHIBITIONS, LIVE PLANETARIUM SHOWS, HANDS-ON AND MINDS-ON STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS) EDUCATION PROGRAMS, AND WORLD-CLASS COLLECTIONS. APPROXIMATELY 60,000 VISITORS PARTICIPATED IN THE CHICAGO'S ECLIPSE FEST, HELD AT THE ADLER, ON AUGUST 21, 2017.WHEN MAX ADLER FOUNDED THE ADLER PLANETARIUM IN MAY OF 1930, HE RECOGNIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF ESTABLISHING A COLLECTION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTIFACTS TO TELL THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY'S EXPLORATION OF THE UNIVERSE. TODAY THE ADLER COLLECTIONS CONTAIN ALMOST 3,000 ARTIFACTS FROM THE 12TH THROUGH THE 20TH CENTURIES REPRESENTING MANY TYPES OF ASTRONOMICAL INSTRUMENTS, RANGING FROM MEDIEVAL ASTROLABES AND ARMILLARY SPHERES TO SUNDIALS, PLANETARIA, AND TELESCOPES FROM THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION TO INSTRUMENTS OF THE PRESENT CENTURY FOR CELESTIAL NAVIGATION. THE RARE BOOK COLLECTION (NUMBERING ABOUT 2,400) AND WORKS ON PAPER COLLECTION (755 WORKS) COVER SUBJECTS RELATED TO ASTRONOMY. THE EDUCATIONAL COLLECTION FURNISHES REALISTIC MODELS AND REPLICAS FOR USE BY THE EDUCATORS ON THE MUSEUM FLOOR AND OFF-SITE, IN SITUATIONS WHERE THE USE OF DELICATE ARTIFACTS WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE. IT IS THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF SUCH MATERIAL IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE AND ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IN THE WORLD. PORTIONS OF THESE COLLECTIONS ARE ON DISPLAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR IN EXHIBITS MUSEUM-WIDE.

OUR INNOVATIVE AND ENGAGING TEEN PROGRAMS RANGE FROM OUR FAR HORIZONS EFFORT, DESIGNING AND BUILDING EXPERIMENTS THAT FLY TO THE STRATOSPHERE ON A HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOON, TO OUR PROJECT AQUARIUS EFFORT, COLLABORATING WITH ASTRONOMERS, GEOLOGISTS, AND ECOLOGISTS IN PIONEERING A METHOD TO RECOVER SUBMERGED METEORITE FRAGMENTS IN LAKE MICHIGAN, TO LEARNING TO CODE THROUGH OUR VIDEO GAME MAKING WORKSHOPS. THE ADLER PLANETARIUM IS ALSO A FOUNDING PARTNER OF ZOONIVERSE.ORG, AN ONLINE GLOBAL INITIATIVE THAT HAS ENGAGED OVER 1.7 MILLION PEOPLE IN FRONTIER SCIENCE THROUGH OVER 90 ACTIVE ONLINE CITIZEN SCIENCE PROJECTS.IN 2014, THE ADLER PILOTED AN OUTREACH PROGRAM TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES CALLED 'SCOPES IN THE CITY. WITH 'SCOPES IN THE CITY, ADLER ASTRONOMERS, STAFF, AND VOLUNTEERS LEAD FREE TELESCOPE OBSERVING PROGRAMS AT PARKS, LIBRARIES, AND BUSINESSES IN CHICAGO AND SUBURBAN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS. DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFIC DATES, TIMES AND LOCATIONS OF THE 'SCOPES IN THE CITY EVENTS, ATTENDEES ARE ABLE TO OBSERVE THE SUN, MOON, JUPITER, SATURN, AND MORE. IN 2014, ADLER STAFF FACILITATED FOUR PROGRAMS. IN 2018, WE ARE ON TRACK TO FACILITATE MORE THAN THIRTY-FIVE PROGRAMS.IN SUMMER 2018, THE ADLER DEBUTED THE #LOOKUP COMMUNITY TELESCOPE PROGRAM. THE #LOOKUP COMMUNITY TELESCOPE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED WITH A SIMPLE GOAL: INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF COMMUNITIES TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN SKY OBSERVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND THE PUBLIC. TWENTY EDUCATORS FROM CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, THE CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY, AND THE CHICAGO PARK DISTRICT PARTICIPATED IN A HANDS-ON WORKSHOP TO LEARN HOW TO OPERATE A TELESCOPE. THOSE EDUCATORS WILL RECEIVE A TELESCOPE IN FALL 2018 TO USE WITH THEIR VARIOUS AUDIENCES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ONGOING VIDEOCONFERENCE SUPPORT SESSIONS AND FUTURE IN-PERSON WORKSHOP SESSIONS WILL SUPPORT THIS COHORT OF EDUCATORS GOING FORWARD INTO FUTURE YEARS. 14633540 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 72 0 1 300 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 60 60 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 IL CA X X MARCIA HEUSER 3129227827 1300 SOUTH LAKE SHORE DRIVE CHICAGO IL 60605 PRADIP K PATIATH BOARD CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AMY L CARBONE BOARD VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LINDA P JOJO BOARD VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JONATHAN H HERBST BOARD TREASURER 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DANIEL T MUELLER BOARD SECRETARY 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BARBARA L STEWART BOARD SECRETARY - PART YEAR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRYAN C CRESSEY BOARD EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN W ESTEY BOARD EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KECIA STEELMAN BOARD EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARYANN N MCNALLY BOARD EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RAJ BHATIA BOARD EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT C SWANSON BOARD EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AARON C RUDBERG BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANTHONY L TOULOUSE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BERNARD L HENGESBAUGH BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BROOKE MACLEAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAPT JAMES A LOVELL JR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLYN BOWMAN BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CLYDE KOFMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA L BALLEW BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL P COONEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL R EDER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID A CROWN PHD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID MINTZER PHD BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID W FOX BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DONALD C CLARK JR BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DUNCAN J PALMER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DUSHAN PETROVICH BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EARLE M COMBS III BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EDWARD J WILLIAMS BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FIDEL MARQUEZ JR BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FRANK M CLARK BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GURPREET SINGH BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HAROLD BYRON SMITH BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HOWARD S GOSS BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 IAN C RADOMSKI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 IRENE SIRAGUSA PHELPS BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 J DOUGLAS DONENFELD BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES J O'CONNOR JR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES J O'CONNOR SR BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAY N WHIPPLE JR BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH NEBENZAHL BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LIAM CAFFREY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA I CELESIA BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LISA H LEWIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW F SAUER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL SEEDMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHEL J FELDMAN BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY S GERRIE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NICK PALDRMIC BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL D STEINBERG BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PETER O VANDERVOORT PHD BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PHYLLIS M LOCKETT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RAJ P GUPTA PE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT N GORDON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RUSSELL F BARTMES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RYAN GARINO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SETH E JACOBSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEFAN C JAMES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN S LOUIS MD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM J GRUBER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY S ROTHSTEIN BOARD EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER - PART YEAR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 IMOGENE POWERS JOHNSON BOARD LIFE TRUSTEE - PART YEAR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHY HOPINKAH HANNAN BOARD MEMBER - PART YEAR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAMAR A JOHNSON AIA BOARD MEMBER - PART YEAR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS A NARDI BOARD MEMBER - PART YEAR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE B LARSON PHD PRESIDENT AND CEO 35.00 0.00 X 418557 0 12318 MARCIA HEUSER VP, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION/CFO 35.00 0.00 X 194108 0 26107 CATHLEEN BRUEGGEMANN VP, DEVELOPMENT 35.00 0.00 X 192579 0 12706 CHRISTOPHER COMERFORD CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER 35.00 0.00 X 169789 0 22165 SARAH COLE VP, GUEST EXPERIENCE 35.00 0.00 X 141100 0 21256 ANDREW JOHNSTON VP, ASTRONOMY & COLLECTIONS 35.00 0.00 X 141136 0 0 MARC LAPIDES CHIEF MARKETING & DEVELOP.
